Having stayed for one night at this lovely hotel on our way to Scotland in 2018 it was agreed that we should have stayed longer. So this year we are spending 4 nights at The Inn on the Lake. This hotel has one of the most spectacular settings in the Lake District with lawns sweeping down to the edge of Ullswater. This lake is the second largest in England and is possibly England’s most beautiful lake, set among the splendours of some of the finest fells in Lakeland. While in the Lake District we will enjoy a short cruise on board one of the Ullswater Steamers and a drive over the Kirkstone Pass to Ambleside. The Kirkstone Pass is one of the highest passes open to motor traffic and gives spectacular views of the mountain scenery.

We will also visit Dove Cottage, home of poet William Wordsworth for many years and from where he got inspiration for some of his most well-known poems. Dove Cottage is on the edge of Grasmere, not far from Ambleside. We will also enjoy a day out with Mountain Goat Tours, a company using smaller minibuses and local guides to do tours into the beautiful scenic areas and mountains that our large coach would not be able to reach. We should also have time for a ride on the Ravenglass & Esk steam railway.

All our double/twin rooms will have lake views and all our single occupancy rooms will all have views over the fells. Dinner each evening will be from the hotel’s Signature menu.

The Inn on the Lake is the proud holder of 4 AA stars and 2 rosettes. The hotel enjoys one of the most spectacular settings in the Lake District, on the shores of Ullswater amidst a vast 15 acres of beautiful private grounds. Each of the 47 en-suite bedrooms, are all superbly decorated and fitted with a full range of modern amenities and feature luxurious Sealy beds. The 2 AA rosette award-winning Lake View Restaurant provides something for all tastes, or for less formal dining, there is the Ramblers Bar and Candleroom.
